Unbelievable achievement isn't it. To be at the biggest football club in the world that long and to have built 4-5 different teams completely is absolutely sensational with all the success he has brought after 26 years with almost nothing

Looking forward to tonights game and what a huge game it has become! Loser tonight is really going to start to slip behind the pace setters and face a difficult task going into the New Year. I will be hoping for an Arsenal win tonight or even a draw would do nicely

Excellent and such a crucial win that is for you guys Babble. You needed to get past the hoodoo when it comes to United and Chelsea the last few years and you did that tonight. Chelsea are really struggling so much right now, in the Premiership there's only Fulham with a worse record the past 6 games! They sit 6 behind us now nd have played a game more too! Arsenal move into 2nd spot 2 points behind us having played an extra game.

Chris, what's your expectation for City? You haven't mentioned them. Is that because you don't think they'll be top 3 in the final weeks?

Simply put Babble however money they throw in to try and buy trophies the bottom line is they'll always be sh!ŁŁy City. No I don't think they'll be right up near the top come the end of the season, maybe 4th however if we keep throwing points away(although the idiotic referee and his assistant ensured that last night ) then it will bring a team like City more into it. Looks like being a very close season does this one, and I definitely think Chelsea will put a big run together and Arsenal if they can stay consistent have a real chance of being right up there come May.

I didn't realize we drew at Wigan on Wednesday. We're so retarded. We never pick up points when we get the opportunity.

3-0 today. So Hleb wound up at BC. What a shame.

Yeah we're all dropping points this season that we just shouldn't be :\But that's a good comprehensive win for you today away there, clearly Birmingham just wanted to put everything int othe game against us the other night Yeah Hleb's career really hasn't gone anywhere since he left Arsenal, after being in the reserves at Barca then going to Germany for a year I think it was and now Birmingham!

And there's at least 3 years there that we really ought to have won the Championship as well but screwed up either the last day of the season or at an earlier point in time.

Funny thing is as well Babs before the Premiership was introduced in 1992 we hadn't won the League title for 26 years whereas Liverpool had won 18 of the things compared to our 7. Now all of a sudden we sit level on 18 titles a piece with us winning 11 in no time at all really whereas Liverpool have won 0!

Good thing from our point of view is we had a good squad of youngsters that came through a year or 2 into the Premiership of Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, the 2 Nevilles, Butt and added with a few buys with our own money thats what has made for 20 unbelievable years almost. Now the Chelsea's and Man City's ahve very much just looked at buying the title with their foreign owners But with not having a salary cap it does mean unless a team gets a foreign investor now you are 95% likely to see the same teams challenging for the title each season. The first 3-4 years of the Premiership Blackburn were our big rivals for the title and had a terrific side but then they couldn't keep up financially towards the end of the 90s.
